Fabulous stay at Powis House

The mansion is a hidden jewell, tastefully decorated and set in stunning grounds. The house and bedrooms are very spacious, beautifully presented with great views. The breakfast menu had a wide and varied selection, the food was lovely and cooked to perfection. Colin and Jane are warm and friendly, the perfect hosts. We had a lovely peaceful stay and we're looking forward to coming back. Powis House is highly recommended and well worth a visit, it represents excellent value, you wont be dissapointed.

Just back from a 2 night stay at Powis House with two girlfriends, celebrating a 40th birthday, which was absolutely perfect. Colin and Jane couldn't have been more welcoming and accomodating - on arrival (2 of us collected from Stirling train station - at different times!) we were brought a pot of tea and biscuits in the drawing room, a gorgeous large, bright room overlooking the expansive garden. Dinner that night (advance reservation only) was the most delicious I have eaten in a long time - soup, venison, and sticky toffee pudding to die for - and incredible value for only 20 quid a head. And we were all extremely touched by the birthday decorations that had been laid on - streamers, balloons, candles, you name it - not to mention an extra cake bought in specially.

Breakfast next morning was sumptious and - although I only eat fruit and muesli, I have big eyes and synaesthesia (no, not really) - delicious.

Colin and Jane were happy to add an extra bed to a twin room for a small supplement and insisted on running us around (we were car-less) rather than us booking a taxi - to the Ochil hills nearby, the local pub for a music jam on the Sunday night (Colin has a great voice!) and back to the station for our return trip. Quite exceptional hosts. Oh, and I almost forgot to mention - we were loaned walking boots, raincoats and tweed caps for our walk across the Ochils which proved a Very Good Idea.

Our bedroom was tastefully decorated and cosy, full of character and - despite a slightly dodgy lock which resulted in us being locked in one morning (if you're going to be locked into a place this is the place to choose!) - faultless to a T. Talking of which, a good selection of teas, fruit and biscuits in the room were very welcome - as was the fridge in the hallway to hold the many bottles of wine we'd brought.

The grounds seemed massive (we didn't do the full tour but 3 gypsy caravans and a gorgeous little summer house overlooking a pond were highlights, the latter which we were urged to make use of if we wished - next time), also an enormous redwood tree and several other arboreal curiosities.

Really, I cannot praise this lovely couple and the warmth of their welcome highly enough. I found it via the Sawdays site and it does indeed merit that accolade. I fully intend there to be a next time.

We have just returned from spending Good Friday at Powis House B&B on our way to St Andrews. The house itself is full of character with guests being allowed to use the drawing room to relax in, and Colin and Jane are the perfect hosts. The rooms are large, tastefully furnished and offer a level of comfort that is far superior to what you would expect from a hotel. I can thoroughly recommend this B&B to anyone; as for most Sawdays properties, it is a refreshing antidote to the typically homogenous hotel experience.
